I feel like the Bruins' overall record against Washington on Wednesday night NBCSN games is something like 0-12.

 

[Sheppy]

Watch out for Wilson. Guy will be running around as per usual.

 

[CamTheMan]

Is Rask gonna get the B2B?

 

[TP]

I'm scared

 

[Mantis]

Keep the streak goin boys!

 

[Mount Kramer Cameras]

The Capitals are 2-4-1 in back-to-back games this year. B's are 1-5-1, as Fenway notes. Something's got to give.

Oh sweet baby Jeebus, the horn fan! Kill it! Kill it with fire! Don't the Pens have one of those guys too?

I always wondered if it was over the PA or if it was a random fan, but it makes since, because I'm pretty sure the NHL doesn't allow PA noise over the action (or, at least all 30 teams happen to cut the noise during the game).

Fun little fact from the Verizon Center:

I honestly have no idea who should start as goalie, but I guess seeing how Rask holds up in a back-to-back will be...instructive? I mean, I guess it's nice to dip your toe in that water. Curious when the last time the Bruins have voluntarily played a goalie in B2B games in the regular season in a game that counts (ie no end-of-season burnoffs, no injuries to a #1/2 goalie).

Thanks Fenway! I momentarily forgot about the horn.

I hate the 8:00 start, hate playing the Caps because someone always gets injured, I hate Holtby in net against us.

Lots to hate.....please give us something to cheer for and make it 4 in a row! Time to snap the losing streak against the Caps!

 

[JCRO]

Mentioned this yesterday but I had a dream that they finally strung together four wins in a row.

Lets make it a reality! Go Bs!

 

[DKH]

Hope we get the same referring as last night

 

[FribbleLine]

"The night you love to hate"

Can't imagine why

It's a NHL rule that the music stops when puck dropped.

The Caps love Sam the Horn Guy and even included him a commercial.



Sam also sells this

 

[BMC]

Holtby in net for the Caps?

We're ****ed.

 

[BNHL]

5-2 Caps.

 

[toasterjam]

Watch out for Wilson. Guy will be running around as per usual.

Don't worry, we got Jimmy Hayes.

Hayes is gonna wreck Wilson 2nite 4 sure.

<3

 

[Bad Puck Bounce]

Watch out for Wilson. Guy will be running around as per usual.

Would love to see McQuaid tune him up tonight.

Randell vs. Wilson would be fun too, but that's not happening.

 

[DKH]

They going with Rask?

 

[TMac21]

Would love to see McQuaid tune him up tonight.

Randell vs. Wilson would be fun too, but that's not happening.

Don't think Wilson would go with Quaider.

 

[Fenway]

Four-time Emmy Award-winner Mike ‘Doc’ Emrick (play-by-play), U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame member Eddie Olczyk (analyst), and Emmy Award-winner Pierre McGuire (‘Inside-the-Glass analyst) will call this week’s Bruins-Capitals Wednesday Night Rivalry game from Verizon Center in Washington, D.C.


Pre-game coverage on NHL Live begins one hour prior to all games on NBCSN. Liam McHugh will anchor coverage throughout the week, joined by analysts and former players Mike Milbury, Keith Jones, and Jeremy Roenick, as well as NHL insider Bob McKenzie for Wednesday Night Rivalry. Post-game coverage on NHL Overtime will air on NBCSN immediately following this week’s games.

 

[BMC]

An 8PM start and the announcing crew from hell?? Maybe I'll skip this one

 

[ODAAT]

Watch out for Wilson. Guy will be running around as per usual.

He`s a toolbox who picks his spots and his hits are too often questionable and for a "tough guy", his fight game is weak

 

[ODAAT]

Don't think Wilson would go with Quaider.

Wilson isn`t afraid of going with too many people, problem I have with him is he`s a spot picker, he`ll isolate often on a guy who`s at the tail end of a shift. He fought Miller 2X in a game before I believe and he`s fought Quaider

Whom he goes with isn`t the question, it`s his timing

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

I feel like the Bruins' overall record against Washington on Wednesday night NBCSN games is something like 0-12.

It might be worse since NBC loves to air non rivalries on Wednesday nights.

 

[VanIsle]

Bruins are 0 for 7 in their last 7 games against the Caps.

Shut out 3 times
Scored 1 goal 2 times
Scored 2 goals 1 time
Scored 3 goals 1 time

But the last 2 have gone to OT.

I would take a point against the team with the most points in the NHL.
